Disclaimer: I do not own Farscape or anything associated with Farscape. I dedicate this edition to Eowyn and I send my best wishes to you for a speedy recovery! We miss you on the bb! And I’m sorry I used you in this fic and put words in your mouth…I hope I did you justice! And I’m sorry to use Ben as well…but I’m sure he won’t mind! :)

[Ben walks along the purple sand beach of the green ocean sprawled out before him. Yes, folks, we’re back at the Big Bangalow! Yet, poor Ben is all alone, left to ponder the meaning of life. But hey girls, he’s shirtless! And better yet, has only a small little bathing suit on. His tan is quite beautiful! The orange trees about the beach shadow the Big Bangalow Bar, where Pilot is busily concocting Pilot’s Leviathan Concoction number 4. Rygel is concentrating on annoying Pilot, asking every ingredient and ridiculing him. Pilot is extremely annoyed as Ben walks up to them and takes a seat next to Rygel who’s hovering in his throne sled.]
Pilot: [With clenched teeth.] “Rygel, please! I must make this without disruption or the entire thing could go fahrbot!”
[Moya and Talyn playfully fly low overhead, startling Pilot into spilling a little of the blue liquid he was pouring into a beaker. Pilot shouts angrily and uses his third arm to clean up the mess while his second and fourth arms continue to mix the drink. He scratches his head with his first arm and then smacks Rygel as he lowers it.]
Rygel: [Grunts.] “Yotz!”
Ben: [Rests head in hands.] “Where is everybody today?”
Rygel: “Fortunately, they heard you were coming so they left.” [Turns back to eagerly await the drink Pilot is preparing.]
Pilot: “I am not aware of the crew’s position nor do I care. I simply wish to finish this drink before Eowyn arrives!”
Ben: [Instantly perks up and smiles.] “Eowyn? As in EowynAeryn?”
Rygel: [Rolls eyes and states dully.] “Yes.”
Ben: “Well where is she? I want to see her!” [Ben glances around at the sun-blazing beach to see nothing but the purplish sand (which by the way does not possess his footprints any longer for some odd reason!).]
Pilot: “I instructed for her not to arrive until the second sun has set and the fifth moon is parallel with the Rietus Nebula.”
[Ben looks to Rygel in complete confusion.]
Rygel: “Two microns.”
Ben: “Oh.”
[Pilot begins to steam a small vat of brownish liquid and yellow billowing smoke arises. He coughs several times and growls...yes he growls.]
Ben: “You know, I had a chemistry set when I was little and I….”
Pilot: [Without looking up.] “I do not care for your Earth stories right now, Ben. Please leave me alone.”
[Ben raises eyebrows to Rygel who reflects the notion. He then turns to see John and John approaching down the way. He jumps up and welcomes the two over. All three take a seat in front of Pilot and chit chat awaiting the special drink as well as EowynAeryn. Pilot pours a red liquid into the blue one while stirring the brown turned yellow liquid slowly. He ignites the last liquid and it suddenly sparkles magically, mystifying every onlooker. The lightshow soon fades and Pilot pours all liquids together. They instantly become clear as they interact with one another. Pilot smiles finally and pours the drink into the special flasks Rygel, Ben, John, and John each have.]
Pilot: “It’s done! Finally, I did it!”
Ben: [As Pilot pours his drink.] “Why the special flasks? They look like thermoses with vents.”
John 1: “That stuff hits your skin and you absorb it faster than water. That’s why it’s called Pilot’s Leviathan Concoction Number 4. The drink’s strong enough for a Leviathan yet gentle enough for a human.” [Smiles and takes a sip from his drink. He instantly looks buzzed like he’s already had five fellip nectars.]
John 2: [Laughs.] “So where’s Eowyn, Ben? I thought you said you were meeting her for some special occasion?”
Ben: [Glances around once again.] “I don’t know. I hope she’s okay!” [Then takes his first sip. His tongue instantly goes numb.] “WHOA! That really IS slicker than snot!”
Rygel: “This human is even more disgusting than the original two!”
Pilot: “Isn’t that Eowyn?” [Peering off into the distance.]
[All three humans turn to watch as EowynAeryn, dressed in a beautiful red dress approaches them. She is happier than ever with a radiant smile and sparkling eyes. She winks at all three men before her and takes a seat on the last remaining bar stool between Rygel and Ben. Rygel is in awe, speechless for once. He does not say a word and Eowyn laughs.]
Eowyn: [Giggling at
Rygel and then turning to Pilot and the others, who are gaping at her.] “I should be the one drooling here! Ben, John, and John…you’re all so handsome I
think I’m going to
[Eowyn falls off her barstool, head over feet. Rygel laughs. Pilot stifles a laugh. Ben races to help her up as John and John assist. Embarrassed, Eowyn smiles at the three men and is helped back onto her stool.]
Ben: “What was that all about?”
Eowyn: “I must be
careful. As a Shameless Hussie, I’m
prone to
John 2: [Takes a sip of drink.] “Shameless Hussie? Oh yes, I’ve heard of the posse. Gotta love ‘em!”
Pilot: [Hands Eowyn a drink.] “Try this, Eowyn. I think you’ll be quite impressed.”
Eowyn: [Takes a sip of her drink and her eyes nearly pop out of her head.] “FRELL! This is almost as good as staring at Ben, er John, er all three of you all day!”
[Ben blushes. John 1 smiles, clicks his tongue and points at Eowyn with a wink. John 2 simply nods and acts nonchalant. Eowyn giggles and turns her attention to Rygel, who was happy with being ignored up to this point.
Eowyn: “Hey Sparky. What’s been happening with you these days?”
Rygel: “Don’t you start calling me names, too! I am a Dominar. Rygel the….”
Eowyn: [Rolls eyes.] “Yeah, yeah, we know….”
All 3 men and Eowyn: “The Sixfrellingteenth!”
[Pilot refills their flasks (yes they’re fast drinkers!) as they laugh and mingle for a while. Eowyn and Ben start a great conversation on MIT while John 1 and John 2 play Rock, Paper, Scissors. Rygel decides four humans are way too much for him so he leaves the Bar and heads over to an orange-tinted tree for some shade and relaxation. Pilot begins to mix up another batch of Pilot’s Leviathan Concoction Number 4.]
Eowyn: [Takes another sip of her drink, truly enjoying the unbelievable buzz from the fermented drink.] “This is fantastic! And the buzz has been steady…no getting worse and as long as I drink, it stays steady!”
John 2: “Great stuff, huh? I tell ya, there are so many things out in the Universe we’re not enjoying. Unity…oh god that’s one of the best things! Perhaps you and I could, you know, later on, try a little Unity thing Zhaan showed me…” [Is kicked in side by John 1.]
Ben: “You know Eowyn, the rest of the crew, as well as several of your Scaper friends have been wishing to contact you. I told them you’d be meeting me here so they should be coming by any time now. The second sun has set already, right Pilot?”
Pilot: [Mumbles, busily kneading a green blob of goo with all four arms.] “HmmmHmmm.”
Eowyn: “I really do wish you and I could have been alone a little longer. You know, those two over there seem obsessed with that game and Pilot’s got his hands full. Rygel wouldn’t get up for all the food in the universe right now. Let’s take a stroll down the beach, shall we? I know the others are going to be meeting us here, but they can wait!” [Without waiting for a reply, Eowyn grabs Ben’s hand and pulls him away from the Bar.]
John 1: [As they walk away.] “I win again! Thirty nine for me, thirty eight for you!”
John 2: “Aw, crap!
[Eowyn and Ben walk out of ear shot of the others and walk hand in hand down the edge of the green water’s edge, reminiscing in the silent beauty of the Center of the universe.]
Ben: “Cat got your tongue or are you always this quiet?”
Eowyn: [Shakes head.] “I’ve been through some rough spots lately. Life has handed me one thing after another, but I’ve always kept my head up. But sometimes its so hard, you know?”
Ben: [Nods head in agreement.] “Yeah, I completely understand that, Eowyn. I’ve had more than my share.”
Eowyn: [Smiles lightly.] “So what do you do when you feel like all there is nothing left to do but crawl up into a ball and…”
Ben: [Turns Eowyn to face him and squeezes her shoulders lightly.] “I never give up.”
Eowyn: [Smiles with tears in her eyes.] “Never give up.”
[Ben pulls her close and hugs her for a very long time. Eowyn releases all her emotional stresses and hugs back tightly. They remain together as the final sun begins to set. A golden glow begins to shine upon the Big Bangalow and Eowyn pulls away from Ben. A chattering noise hints to the various Scapers and the Farscape crew arriving at the Bar down the beach.]
Ben: “Well, looks like company’s arrived.”
Eowyn: “Shall we give them a lesson in what partying is really all about? I don’t know about you, but I think I could drink Rygel under the table with that concoction of Pilot’s!” [Cheery, Eowyn wraps an arm around Ben’s back. Ben follows suit and the two walk towards the Big Bangalow.]
Ben: [Smiles at Eowyn knowingly.] “You sly girl you!” [Lets out a surprised whoop as Eowyn playfully pinches his cute butt.] “Definitely a Shameless Hussie!”
[Eowyn and Ben arrive to greet their friends at the Big Bangalow. Pilot has drinks lined up on the bar, ready for all to enjoy. Rygel joins the group and is instantly teased. John and John join a few Scapers as well as D’Argo in a group match of Rock, Paper, Scissors. A few Shameless Hussies begin to do a number on top of the bar, careful not to spill Pilot’s precious concoction. Moya and Talyn release colorful electric pulse patterns into the dimming evening sky above. And Eowyn receives a small kiss on the lips from Ben.]
